president obama is back home this morning after his first trip to israel as president. so did he accomplish what he set out to do? >> joining us now is the host of "fox news sunday" chris wallace. >> hey, guys. >> alisyn: what if anything did the president accomplish on the middle east trip? >> clayton said did he sdo what he set out to do? yes, because the white house bar was set low. he didn't make any progress on syria, didn't make progress on iran, but helped to broker a new reconciliation between israel and turkey on the outs for three years and that's significant and could conceivably help in dealing with syria since they both share a border with syria and certainly improved relations with the israelis. personally with benjamin netanyahu, in a bigger sense with the whole nation and he seemed to tilt away from the palestinians and toward the israelis, he's no longer going to insist that israel stop the creation, or the construction of settlements as a pre-condition to peace talks. so, you know, it may be a b, b-plus, no great accomplishment, but certainly an okay t
